With a faint smile, Matthew nodded. “I have always meant what I’ve said. Since l’m here telling you all about this business, l’m naturally scouting all of you to be Cunningham Pharmaceuticals’ agents.”
With the excitement in the family heads growing further, they were practically dancing in joy at this point.
Looking at them, Matthew was secretly in joy as well, as this was all part of Melvin’s suggestion. First, favonovel.com invited Poison Spider to Eastshire to strike fear into the family heads before enticing them with an attractive offer with the new product of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals.
Just as Melvin had said, those who were truly in power must show both the carrot and the stick. The carrot here was the new medicine while the stick was Poison Spider. By showing Matthew’s hand this way, the nine great families would choose to side with Matthew rather than make favonovel.com their enemy.
Suddenly, Philip roared, “Larson! Do you take us all for fools that would fall for your lies with just some words?!”
Everyone turned their attention to Philip immediately. Master Wayne said, “Master White, just what lies were in Mr. Larson’s words?”
Philip shot a glare at favonovel.com before favonovel.com said indignantly, “Looks like you’re still in the dark. I won’t comment on whether this new product of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would bring about such miracles. If it works, then many would be saved by this. However, I want all of you to think! With this business with such a terrifying amount of profits practically guaranteed, would any of you choose to share them with others?”
The joy in the family heads’ expressions instantly waned upon Philip’s words. Just as favonovel.com said, humans were selfish creatures.
‘Who would be in the right mind to share such an enormous profit with anyone else?’ they thought.
Matthew sneered, “Philip White, how could you gauge the heart of a gentleman with one’s own mean measure? Do you think the rest of the world is just as selfish and self-serving as you? I admit, the Restoration Pill would no doubt bring astronomical profits. However, do any of you think that Cunningham Pharmaceuticals would be able to generate that kind of profit alone? With how big they are, do you think they would be able to handle the local distribution themselves, let alone the global market?”
“ln such a situation, they would need to find competent agents that have their own means to supply to the market. To tell you all the truth, Cunningham Pharmaceuticals have already signed with several agents, including Daniel Edwards and Charles Wesley. I’m sure you gentlemen have heard of them before. If Cunningham Pharmaceuticals are willing to make them their agents, why wouldn’t they make the great families of Eastshire their agents as well?”
With Matthew‘s explanation, the doubts on everyone’s faces disappeared.
On the other hand, Philip grew impatient, as favonovel.com knew the other eight family heads were close to being won over by Matthew. He knew very well that Matthew was trying to win these men over with profits. The moment the other family heads were in bed with Matthew, then everything favonovel.com had done up to this point would be in vain. Hence, favonovel.com could never agree with Matthew’s proposal.
Then, Philip said, “Hmph, Matthew Larson, you need to stop with your lies. You should know very well the relationship between you and us, the Greatest Families of Eastshire. Even if you ignored everything that we’ve done in the past, there’s the fact we’re here right now in a meeting to go against you. It was already merciful of you to let us go for this, but to even offer us such a ludicrous proposal? You’re definitely up to something here! The Greatest Families of Eastshire will never fall for such a trick! Everyone, don’t be fooled by this shameless fraud. He is simply sweet talking to us right now. We must not fall for his lies! We should seize this opportunity to end this matter once and for all while he’s alone right now!”
